Being a twin is great. You are born with a best friend, and always have someone who is going through the same struggles you are. While people usually just say “that’s cool” when they find out I am a twin, I have still had some pretty strange conversations in the past.
1. “Oh my gosh can you tell what she is thinking right now??”
We have agreed to reply with “tacos” any time we are asked this.
2. "Ohhhh, I just thought you two were best friends with the same last name."
Yes, this really happened. And yes, in a sense we are best friends. But no, we do not have separate families who moved at the same time to the same state to the same city in the same county in the same school district. Just no.
3. “But wait…you guys don’t look the same…”
Well..there are actually two types of twins. Ones that look the same (identical) and ones that don't (fraternal).
4. “So when is her birthday?”
Do you know what a twin is..?
5. "You two were born only a minute a part?? DAAAMN, your momma must have been pushing HARD!”.
Actually, she had a C-section.
6. “You’re totally the pretty one and she’s totally the smart one. Y'all are like the perfect twin combination.”
Excuse me, we are both beautiful and intelligent. You need to watch yourself or I’m going to become the aggressive one.
7. “So, would y’all like, have a threesome together?”
No. Just no.
